Welcome to the Coronary Health Improvement Project (CHIP)!

This is the start of our 2nd exciting year in Myrtle Beach and come to you from Loma Linda, California.

If Loma Linda sounds familiar to you, it may well be you heard it mentioned on Oprah. She recently did a program on “Blue Zones”. "Blue Zones" are locations around the world where the residents enjoy vigorous good health, and live longer. The only "Blue Zone" in the United States is located..............you guessed it, Loma Linda!

What we are offering to Myrtle Beach is the opportunity to embrace the same, healthy lifestyle, with a fun, easy, 30 day program called CHIP.

Founded and presented by Dr. Hans Diehl from the Lifestyle Institute in Loma Linda, CA, these 16 exciting, informative, and humorous, presentations will literally give you the tools to not only prevent, but actually reverse diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. CHIP is, and continues to be, a research project with proven results all over the world.

With a lifestyle evaluation that includes blood work to check for the presence or risk of diabetes and heart disease, you will see dramatic improvements in your repeat blood work, 30 days later.

Participants in CHIP experience a drop in their cholesterol from 10 - 20%, and as much as 40%. In 30 days, the average weight loss is seven pounds, and the pounds continue to drop off with your healthier lifestyle. With the ongoing, no cost, alumni meetings, you get the continued support you need to reach your goals. Over and over again we've seen the need for blood pressure and diabetic medications greatly reduced and even eliminated

Your Myrtle Beach CHIP Director will guide you, along with the video presentations by Dr. Diehl, on an exciting journey where good health, and high energy is yours!

Because of the outstanding results of CHIP programs one and two, CHIP three will begin Monday, March 22, 2010. To date, 39 CHIP graduates have lost a total of 415 pounds. in only 5 short weeks. Many graduates, with their MDs' consent, have reduced and in many cases, actually come off their blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes medications.

Listen to what some of our recent graduates had to say:

Mario Scalzo says, "CHIP changed my life for the better. I feel wonderful!" With his doctor's blessing, Mario was removed from both his diabetes and blood pressure medications. Mario continues to lose weight.

Bo Gee was experiencing health challenges, and along with with his wife, Sallie, lost a great deal of weight. Bo shared, "CHIP saved my life." Bo won the award for the largest drop in cholesterol, 77 points in just five weeks.

Carol McGraw, signed up after learning her cholesterol level was dangerously high. Carol recently lost her brother to heart disease, and knew she had to do something now. Carol's cholesterol dropped 31 points in five weeks. Carol credits CHIP totally for the wonderful way she feels.

The next positive outcomes could be yours!
